The recent release of Blumhouse Productions' 'Night Swim', produced by Jason Blum and James Wan, has generated a wave of reviews from critics. Directed by Bryce McGuire and starring Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon, the film presents a horror narrative centered around a haunted swimming pool. Despite the interesting premise and a PG-13 rating, the film has received mixed to negative reviews, with critics pointing out its struggle to stay afloat amidst horror clichés and a lack of genuine scares. The movie, which also draws inspiration from 'Jaws' and other aquatic nightmares, has been described as both moody and half-good, with some appreciation for Condon's performance. 'Night Swim', set to hit theaters on January 5th, continues the tradition of horror films launching at the beginning of the year. Reviews from @phillipstribune, @Nina_Metz, @HauntedMeg, @aurora_amidon, @OwenGleiberman, and @TimGrierson have contributed to the film's critical reception.

Blumhouse's #NightSwim is "Amityville Horror" in a swimming pool. "It works hard to avoid the first-weekend-of-January junkyard blues, but it's too familiar and derivative — and too PG-13 — not to fall into it." Read @OwenGleiberman's review: https://t.co/UVjvCFBNOE https://t.co/YuCzDGZpGX
